Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to a wheelchair frame and a wheelchair comprising the same.
  • FIGS 1A to 1 F are perspective views of known commercially-available wheelchairs as sold by company KOschall AG, namely of KOschaN’s Advance, Champion, Compact, K-Series, The KSL, and Ultra-Light wheelchairs, respectively.
  • All six wheelchairs, designated globally by reference numeral 1 essentially comprise a wheelchair frame 2 supported at a rear-end by a pair of rear wheels 3 and at a front-end by a pair of front caster wheels 4.
  • the wheelchair frame 2 comprises two side frame members 7 (one on each side) each comprising a first, rearward section designed to be coupled to a seat portion 5 of the wheelchair 1 and a second, forward section designed to be coupled to a foot portion 6 of the wheelchair 1.
  • each frame member 7 basically consists of a tubular member exhibiting a circular cross-section, which tubular member is curved to the desired L-shape profile.
  • the aforementioned known wheelchair frame designs are advantageous in that they lead to a lightweight, yet robust wheelchair construction. Furthermore, the tubular members of circular cross-section can conveniently be curved to the desired L-shape profiles.
  • tubular members of circular cross-section however leads to certain limitations both from an aesthetic point of view and in terms of ergonomics.
  • tubular members as constituents for wheelchair frames are also known in the art, such as extruded frame members, but these may typically lead to an increase of the production costs and are less satisfactory from an aesthetic point of view. It is furthermore more difficult to shape extruded frame members to match desired profiles.
  • US Patent Publication No. US 2009/0085321 A1 discloses a wheelchair with a wheelchair frame comprising first and second side frame members, each comprising a rearward section designed to be coupled to a seat portion of the wheelchair and a forward section designed to be coupled to a foot portion of the wheelchair, the rearward and forward sections being connected to one another via a curved intermediate section to form a substantially L-shaped profile.
  • Each of the first and second side frame members may exhibit a varying cross-section over their length, in particular a cross-section changing from a circular cross- section at the rearward section to a generally oval cross-section at the forward section.
  • this solution does not substantially differ from the known solutions illustrated in Figures 1A to 1 F, and further improvements are desirable from the point of view of ergonomics in particular.
  • US Patent No. US 5,409,247 A discloses a wheelchair with a wheelchair frame comprising first and second side frame members that are made of separate frame elements that are assembled one in the other.
  • the assembly of multiple frame elements is not desirable from a practical point of view in that this negatively affects both robustness of the wheelchair frame as well as production costs.
  • US Patent No. US 5,382,036 A discloses a molded, fiber-reinforced, tubular wheelchair frame assembly comprising first and second side frame members that are joined with other frame elements to form integral left and right side frame assemblies that are connected together by means of tubular frame members. While the formation of tubular molded parts using fiber-reinforced resins and fibers typically leads to a lightweight wheelchair frame assembly, the inherent production costs remain high and production of such wheelchair frame assemblies typically requires complex and costly molding techniques which are difficult to put into practice on an industrial scale.
  • a general aim of the invention is to provide such a wheelchair frame that provides greater flexibility in terms of design and ergonomics.
  • Yet another aim of the invention is to provide such a wheelchair frame that is more convenient to handle for the user.
  • a further aim of the invention is to provide such a wheelchair frame that is of lightweight and robust construction.
  • Still another aim of the invention is to provide such a wheelchair frame that is cost-efficient to produce.
  • a wheelchair frame as generally defined in claim 1 , namely a wheelchair frame comprising first and second side frame members each comprising a first, rearward section designed to be coupled to a seat portion of a wheelchair and a second, forward section designed to be coupled to a foot portion of the wheelchair, wherein the rearward and forward sections are connected to one another to form a substantially L- shaped profile.
  • Each of the first and second side frame members exhibits, at least in part, a varying cross-section and further comprises an intermediate section shaped to act as a hand grip, which intermediate section is interposed between the rearward and forward sections and exhibits a cross-section that differs from a cross-section of the rearward section and/or forward section.
  • the rearward section, the intermediate section and the forward section are successive sections of a same integral piece that is shaped to exhibit the varying cross-section.
  • the rearward section exhibits a substantially circular cross-section and the forward section exhibits a substantially polygonal cross- section.
  • the intermediate section is a substantially rectilinear section and exhibits a varying cross-section transitioning gradually from the substantially circular cross-section of the rearward section to the substantially polygonal cross-section of the forward section.
  • the first and second side frame members are made from tubular members shaped to exhibit the varying cross-section. These tubular members can in particular be made of aluminium. By way of preference, the first and second side frame members are hydroformed tubular members. The tubular members can especially be shaped to exhibit a substantially constant and uniform wall thickness.
  • the intermediate section preferably exhibits a length of the order of 100 mm. Furthermore, an angle of the intermediate section with respect to a horizontal, ground plane can in particular be comprised between 5° and 40°, and is preferably of the order of 25°.
  • the rearward and forward sections are substantially rectilinear sections, and an angle of the rearward section with respect to a horizontal, ground plane is comprised between 0° and 40°, while an angle of the forward section with respect to the horizontal, ground plane is comprised between 55° and 90°.
  • the forward section may be designed to support a caster wheel support assembly.
  • the forward section exhibits a substantially constant cross-section along at least a portion of the forward section, said portion of the forward section being designed to allow adjustment of a position of the caster wheel support assembly along the said portion.
  • the intermediate section exhibits, at least partly, a substantially polygonal cross-section.
  • an upper portion of the intermediate section is preferably wider than a lower portion of the intermediate section.
